I ...Wow Julia, your days make mine seem so mundane. I love reading about your adventures & even without pictures you create a great visual as I read. Yes you should write these stories down for all to share...one day. But for now you're doing just that in the condensed version for us that stop by to read your blog & delight us each time with a story. I'm still chuckling about my favourite...the Marilyn Monroe birthday song with your version of coming out of the cake. LOL. You are a special person Julia, thank you for sharing your adventures of one day in the life & time of Julia. Your days are filled with caring & love of people & animals.<br />Have a wonderful day!<br />Cynthia M-RKyrotimehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07328503785870363796noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6876827638819064500.post-23304909894792292172012-10-20T18:32:22.127-03:002012-10-20T18:32:22.127-03:00farmers are the bravest of unsung heros, friend:)...farmers are the bravest of unsung heros, friend:)<br />i love your stories!<br />-JenniferJennifer Richardsonhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04305032927925322733noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6876827638819064500.post-16162843196201202642012-10-19T21:09:21.771-03:002012-10-19T21:09:21.771-03:00Julia I am completely worn out after reading about...Julia I am completely worn out after reading about your adventures with your calves. lol I may not get out of this chair the rest of the evening.<br />Wow you never cease to amaze me. I can't imagine delivering a calf and then chasing one around a pasture. I was so afraid they both were not going to have happy endings but thank goodness they did.<br />I too keep thinking that in May I will be 65 and will I be able to keep up with this job out here on the ranch. I guess we both do what we gotta do but I wish for both of us we could slow down and more and enjoy our older age. <br />Loved coming by tonight and checking on you. I think of you often.<br />Love ya<br />MaggieGrandma Yellow Hairhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10917551672825097342noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6876827638819064500.post-3324424416248302182012-10-19T12:46:39.001-03:002012-10-19T12:46:39.001-03:00Hi Julia,

Before that I worked at painting and cleaning in the milk house and milking parlor. I also did a bit of office work for the farm. I used to be so sore but my strength increased little by little.
